[simpits-tech] New Guy here! and 747 sim

[Rob Hommel]

Sebastian

I haven't heard of anyone else doing this. Building it in 1/72 scale really
won't reveal any of the problems what it will do however is further
familiarize you with the aircraft and you will have something physical for
you to help you hang on to your dream.

It is good that you have already decided upon the model and airline you will
be building for as each carrier does have it's changes to the standard
aircraft cockpit.

Keep 'em Flying
